SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 337,532, dated March 9,1886.

Application filed August 29, 1885. Serial No. 175,644. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ALBERT B. STEVEN- SON and JOHN STUEMPGES, both ofStevensous Pier, inthe county of Door and State of Wisconsin, haveinvented a new and Improved Saw-Gummer, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements on thePatent No. 304,146, issued on the 26th day of August, 1884, to JohnStuempges for a saw-gummer.

The object of our invention is to obtain a better adjustment of thedies.

The invention consists in the construction and combination of parts anddetails, as will be fully described and set forth hereinafter.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure l is a side view of our improved sawgummcr. Fig. 2 is a plan viewof the same, parts being broken out and others in section.

In the device shown and described inv the Patent No. 304,146, dies 0 areheld in the base-block A, but no nieanswere provided for adjusting saiddies.

In our improved saw-glimmer dies R are held by bolts R in the undersurface of the upper plate, D, directly above the dies 0 of thebase-block. On the sides of the basebloek A, U shaped frames or yokes Sare secured, and through the same screws '1 are passed, which restagainst'the side edges of the diesO, and by means of said screws thelower adjustable dies can easily be shifted to register with theupperfixed dies. A curved transverse gagestrip, V, is held on the topplate, D, by the bolt V, passed through a 1011 gitudinal slot in the topplate, and the endsV of said strip are bent down to form stops, sets, orgages, against which the saw can rest while being moved between the baseand top plate.

Wedges IV, having longitudinal slots W, are placed on the upper surfaceofthe top plate, D, at the ends and below the cam-levers O. Bolts P arepassed through the slots in the wedges, and by means of said bolts thewedges are locked inpthe desired position.

By using the wedges the adaptability of the implement or toolisincreased, as any thickness can then be clamped between the base andthe top plate.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent-- 1. In a saw-gummer, the combination, with abase-bloekand a clamping-plate, of dies in the base-block, dies in theclamping-plate, and devices for adjusting the dies in the basebiock,substantially as herein shown and described.

2. In a saw-gummer, the combination, with a base-block and a clampingplate, of dies held in the base-block and clampingplate, the yokes S onthe sides of the base-block, and the screws T in the yokes, foradjusting the dies on the base-block, substantially as herein shown anddescribed.

3. In a saw-gummer, the combination, with a base-block, aclamping'plate, and the carn-' levers O, for pressing the clamping-plateon the base-block, of the longitudinal slotted wedges \V and the boltsP, substantially as herein shown and described.

4. In a saw-gummer, the combination, with a base-block, A, and theclamping-plate D, of the cam-levers O and the wedges IV, between the camends of plate D, substantially as herein shown and described.
